Molecular Adsorption at Particle Surfaces: A PM Toxicity Mediation Mechanism

Abstract: Fine atmospheric particles depositing in the lung present a large adsorbent surface for the adsorption of bronchoalveolar lining fluid (BALF) components, including lung surfactant and its associated proteins. Such adsorption at invading particle surfaces is known to be important in biological particle clearance, and the immunological and toxicological fate of these particles. In the experiments conducted here, it was hypothesized that this is also true for particles of nonbiological origin, and that fine parti… Show more

“…20; Kendall M, unpublished observations) show that particles adsorb DPPC and AAs in vitro, causing marked changes in surface characteristics and particle agglomeration rates. Since surfactant is already known to coat infectious particles and be involved in their clearance via macrophage recognition (40), based on these data here and other works, there is also now evidence to show that this process probably applies to urban fine particles (13,19,20,22).…”

“…Institutional Review Board approval to re-use these diagnostic samples was obtained from New York University as published by Kendall et al (19). Concentrations of SP-A and SP-D in these BAL samples were measured using ELISAs (Yamasa, Japan), and surfactant DPPC was measured according to the methods used in Kendall et al (20). These results are shown in Table 1.…”

“…This lung-surfactant corona was later proposed as an important protective mechanism mediating the health impacts associated with breathing in airborne particles and nanoparticles in urban air [10]. Despite early evidence of particle coronas in the lung identified using newly developed atomic and molecular scale techniques [11], the biological interface remains the least understood aspect about nanoparticles, and classification systems to characterise the outermost layers of the bio-nano interface, i.e., those biological signatures that are available to engage endogenous cellular machinery, are absent.…”
